  So I treated myself to the epic digi stamp bundle from amandajaynedesigns (seriously 50% off - it was a *steal* and they are all so stinkin' cute!) over on Etsy this week. This adorable little bear comes from there. I used my Cameo's print-and-cut function to cut him and coloured him with my Promarkers.  The paper is from an old craft sensations pad called lipstick basics, and I stamped the sentiment by hand from one of my many old sentiment stamps, which I've long since forgotten where they came from! All layered on a black card base, and of course, I had to add a couple of little gems because I can't help myself!

I picked up this metalic paper pack from art studio a couple of months ago this is the first time I've used it, it's so pretty! I've used some white/silver and white/gold papers here as well as a bit of vellum from a deco time pack that matched beautifully, on a kraft card base. The image is from just ink lined, very subtly coloured with my promarkers thesentiment was handstamped and a couple of pearks and a flower from my stash to finish it off.

  I love this sunflower stamp from Poppy Power by Marcella Hawley. I've used it a few times now and I love it. It's so versatile. I coloured it, of course, with my trusty promarkers.  I hand-stamped the sentiment and cut it by hand. Papers are from a craft ID pad, 'when life gives you lemons' and added the butterflies and a few wee gems to finish. The current challenge for As You Like It is favorite occasion and I debated with myself between birthdays and christmas, because I love both, but went with birthdays because it's so much more individual. I love making cards that are specifically made with a person in mind. Using their favourite colours, picking themes for their hobbies and interests. This one is going to my neighbour for her birthday, as she loves flowers - her garden is amazing!  As You Like It - favourite occasion and why Art Impressions #419 - Pocket Full of sunshine Stamping Sensations - I Spy With My Little Eye Something beginning with 'B"...

  How cute is this little dragon from leehollandart? I coloured him with my promarkers and added the sentiment with Ladybug Red Memento ink. The stamp might have been a freebie in a magazine at some point, but it's so old I can't remember!  I used my cameo to cut the circle die and the 'tag' shape. The papers came from a new artstudio pad I picked up last week (and got some looks from my friend about because it contains so much pink, lol) and I finished it off with some flowers and the heart pin that I dug out from the bottom of my stash. I believe the flowers came from hobbycraft, but no idea about the pin.

  I used a favourite old digi from beccy's place, coloured with my promarkers. The paper is from a design paper pad on a white card base. Added a few little pearls as the seeds in the center of the flower, a sentiment stamped (I have no idea where it came from, lol) and cut by hand and a few diamonds.  Freshly Made Sketches #720 - sketch below Little Red Wagon #842 - Keep it Simple

 Image is from All Dressed Up, coloured with my promarkers. Papers are make&create. Used my silhouette to cut the circles and the acorn. The sentiments are from a freebie spellbinders stamp set I got in a magazine at some point! Alphabet Challenge : S is for Square! Inspiration Station #41: image below

  So it's been a minute (understatement). I'd blame life getting in the way, and it is partly that, but also I sort of lost all inspiration for anything for a while. Still, trying to get back into things I enjoy! I honestly have no idea where the stamps I used came from. They are oooooold. Used memento grape jelly ink and tuxedo black inks. Fussy cut the glass, coloured with promarkers. Added a few gems in the 'bubbles' to finish. Entering: Addicted to CAS #299 - Glass
